Scintillating by Beetlejuice

GRID

From the answer to each clue, one letter must be omitted wherever it occurs in the word, before entry in the diagram. Definitions in the clues refer to the full unmutilated answers; wordplay refers to the mutilated forms to be entered in the diagram. Numbers in brackets show the full lengths of the unmutilated words.

The letters omitted, read in the order they are printed, form a line from a well-known piece of verse. The subject of the verse should be entered in the unclued across answer at the center of the diagram.
